wires, etc., check under vehicle for locations. All oor mounting bolts near the
gas tank area should be installed from the underside of the vehicle, to guard

as not to cause exing of the tank which could cause stress cracks and leak-
age of the tank. To keep debris out of your eyes when checking the underside
of the vehicle, or when drilling, always wear protective eyewear.

evenly spaced holes of the longer front mounting angle.
For the Model 358, mark four holes evenly spaced in
each mounting angle.

Note:
Note:Note:
• When installing model 352 Transfer Tank with a 27" tool
box in a full size short bed pickup, the Tank will need to
be mounted with ller openings toward center of the bed
to avoid tool box hitting wheel wells. Except full size short
wheel base Dodge pickup, where a 27" wide box will not t.
Use one 7/16 x 1-1/2" plastic washer as a barrier between the
heavy at washer and the truck bed.
ALUMINUM TRUCK BED INSTALLATION:
Before installing ller cap neck, wrap threaded end with
pipe tape. Do not use liquid or paste plumber’s pipe dope.
Install the ller cap neck, using a pipe wrench to tighten.
Install vented fuel cap.
Replace tank and bolt securely.
• Use pipe tape when using a manual or electric
transfer pump on the tank. Transfer tank and pump
must be grounded to prevent static charge build-up.
